Course description and aims
The theory of automorphic L-functions is a major research area of modern number theory and is nowadays becoming more and more important in several related areas of mathematics. This lecture aims to explain the basics of automorphic L-functions and to mention a recent breakthrough on the subconvexity problem. This course is followed by Advanced topics in Algebra H1.
Student learning outcomes
Students are expected to:
- obtain basic notions and methods related to automorphic L-functions,
- understand modern tools and concepts in the theory of automorphic L-functions,
- attain a deep understanding of the theory of automorphic L-functions.
Keywords
